Perhaps one of the most famous dreamtime herbs, mugwort acts as a powerful guide into our subconscious and can be used for lucid dreaming or astral travel. Mugwort is commonly burned before any dreamwork as way to enter an altered state of consciousness, but also as a form of protection. Mugwort was often carried as a talisman to protect travelers in dreamland, but also in the physical realm as well.

It is said that an Amethyst will change color if the wearer is under a spell of black magic, fearfulness or deception. Wine served in goblets made of Amethyst was said to change color if the drink was poisoned or toxic. Translated in Greek, the name means “not drunk” & came from the belief that the holder or wearer of this stone would not become intoxicated. Catholic Bishops were known to wear this stone and rosaries are commonly created from it.

Fire and flame are perceived to be direct physical manifestations as much as they are symbolic representations of the spark of creation. This link between the realms of the physical and the spiritual has been honored in ritual and ceremony since our most ancient histories. Lighting a candle in ritual is a call to the higher self and forces of creation. 

As the different colors we perceive everyday are the direct effect of each color's own unique wavelength, or frequency, within the visible light spectrum - so it is held that each specific color has it's own unique energy. The ancient Greek sophists philosophized over these frequencies; believing there to be a connection between the colors, the musical notes, the known objects in the solar system, and the days of the week.

RED

Passion, energy, love, lust, relationships, sex, vitality, courage.

The cards were drawn in 1909 by Pamela Colman Smith under the direction of Arthur Edward Waite. Smith's vibrant drawings transformed the standard tarot deck.

"A unique feature of the Rider-Waite deck, and one of the of the principal reasons for its enduring popularity, is that all of the cards, including the Minor Arcana, depict full scenes with figures and symbols. Prior to the Rider-Waite Tarot, the pip cards of almost all tarot decks were marked only with the arrangement of the suit signs -- swords, wands, cups, and coins, or pentacles. The pictorial images on all the cards allow interpretations without the need to repeatedly consult explanatory text. The innovative Minor Arcana, and Pamela Colman Smith's ability to capture the subtleties of emotion and experience have made the Rider-Waite Tarot a model for the designs of many tarot packs." -- (from The Encyclopedia of Tarot, Volume III)

Rider-Waite Tarot was named one of the Top Ten Tarot Decks of All Time by Aeclectic Tarot.

Pamela Colman Smith
Born February 16, 1878, in Middlesex, England to American parents, Smith's childhood years were spent between London, New York, and Kingston, Jamaica. During her teens, she traveled throughout England with the theatre company of Ellen Terry and Henry Irving. Thereafter, she began formal art training at Pratt Institute of Brooklyn, graduating in 1897.

Smith returned to England, where she became a theatrical designer for miniature theatre, and an illustrator -- mainly of books, pamphlets and posters. Around 1903, she joined the Order of the Golden Dawn. In 1909, under the guidance of Arthur Edward Waite, she undertook a series of seventy-eight allegorical paintings described by Waite as a rectified tarot pack. The designs, published in the same year by William Rider and Son, exemplify the mysticism, ritual, imagination, fantasy, and deep emotions of the artist.

Arthur Edward Waite
Born in America in 1857, Waite was raised and educated as a Catholic in England. Beginning at the age of 21, Waite pursued research and writing on psychical and esoteric matters. Soon after joining the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, he became the Grand Master, and redirected the focus of the order from magic to mysticism. The Golden Order, whose structural hierarchy was based on the Kabbalah, is considered the single greatest 20th century influence on the occult. Waite was a prolific author of occult texts, works on the Holy Grail, and the body of mystical knowledge, which comprises the basis of modern Tarot. He is best known as the co-creator of the Rider-Waite Tarot deck and author of its companion volume The Pictorial Key to the Tarot, first published in 1910.

The love stone, the heart stone, the stone of universal love. Rose quartz encourages unconditional love. This stone helps in strengthening one's relationships at home, in the workplace, and most importantly with one's self.

Rose quartz works to open the heart, thus making it a good choice in working through matters which tend to close the heart; loss, grief, uncertainty, trauma, heartache. 

Rose Quartz neutralizes negative thought forms and creates space for forgiveness, acceptance, and growth. 

Rose Quartz strengthens and balances the physical heart and circulatory system, and releases impurities from body fluids.  It hastens recovery, reduces high blood pressure, aids chest and lung problems, heals the kidneys and adrenals, and alleviates vertigo.  A good energetic support for those with leukaemia. Rose Quartz has the power to increase fertility and to protect both mother and unborn fetus from miscarriage.
